Cid Pollendina: Oh, shut up and help me remodel the Final Fantasy XIV attributes page!

Please expand this article into a full one. The following tasks need to be completed:

• Update for Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker.

This request can be discussed on the associated discussion page. Remove this notice upon completion.

The following is a list of attributes in Final Fantasy XIV. All abilities can be increased with different gear and Materia.

List of Attributes[]

Points[]

Attribute	Effect
HP	Health points. As damage is taken, HP will decrease; once it reaches zero, the unit is KO'd and must either be Raised or return to a home point. Regenerates over time, and can be regenerated using healing abilities. Maximum HP is increased by Vitality. Maximum HP at level 80 is calculated by the following function:[1] ${\displaystyle HP = \begin{cases} \lfloor LevelMod_{Lv, HP} * ( JobMod_{Job, HP} /100) \rfloor + \lfloor ( VIT - LevelMod_{Lv, MAIN} ) * 22.1 \rfloor, & \text{if role is not tank} \\ \lfloor LevelMod_{Lv, HP} * ( JobMod_{Job, HP} /100) \rfloor + \lfloor ( VIT - LevelMod_{Lv, MAIN} ) * 31.5 \rfloor, & \text{if role is tank} \end{cases}}$
MP	Magic points. As spells are cast, MP will decrease. Is used as any Disciple of War or Magic class, but applies mostly to Disciples of the Magic who will use MP the most. Regenerates over time. All characters have 10,000 MP and a passive MP recovery rate of 200 MP per 3 seconds (boosted by Piety for healer disciplines), or 250 MP per 3 seconds in PvP.
CP	Crafting points, used in crafting for Disciples of the Hand. CP will decrease when crafting abilities are used, and once the CP runs too low, certain abilities can no longer be used. For this reason, it is wise to be conservative with CP, particularly when lower levelled. Instantly refills to full when not crafting. Replaces MP bar.
GP	Gathering points, used for Disciples of the Land classes. Required to use certain abilities while gathering. Regenerates over time when not gathering. While gathering, it will increase with each gathering attempt but will not regenerate over time. Replaces MP bar.
EP	Energy points, used while piloting mechs such as the G-Warrior and those found in rival wings duties. Does not regenerate naturally, instead being replenished by specific actions available to those mechs. Replaces MP bar.

Main attributes[]

The main attributes of a character for Disciples of War and Magic classes. All combat disciplines have a stat as their primary attribute that features on most of their equipment, while Vitality appears on most equipment regardless of discipline.

A character's base attributes before equipment or other outside modifiers are determined by the following function:^[1] ${\displaystyle Attribute = \lfloor LevelMod_{Lv, MAIN} * ( JobMod_{Job, Attribute} /100 ) \rfloor + ClanMod_{Clan, Attribute} + Traits}$

Attribute	Classes with primary attribute	Jobs with primary attribute	Other effect
Strength	Lancer Pugilist [note 1]	Dragoon Monk Samurai Reaper [note 1]	Increases Attack Power for all disciplines except those who use Dexterity as their primary attribute.
Dexterity	Archer Rogue	Bard Ninja Machinist Dancer Viper	Increases Attack Power for disciplines who use it as their primary attribute.
Vitality	Gladiator Marauder	Paladin Warrior Dark Knight Gunbreaker	Increases HP. Important for all disciplines and found on most equipment, but grants a greater HP boost to tank disciplines.
Intelligence	Thaumaturge Arcanist	Black Mage Summoner Red Mage Pictomancer Blue Mage	Increases Attack Magic Potency for all disciplines except healers.
Mind	Conjurer	White Mage Scholar Astrologian Sage	Increases Healing Magic Potency. Also increases Attack Magic Potency for healers.

Offensive Properties[]

Attribute	Effect
Critical Hit	Increases the chance of landing a critical hit, which greatly increases damage or healing dealt. Also increases the potency of critical hits. A character's base Critical Hit attribute is equal to ${\displaystyle LevelMod_{Lv, SUB}}$, which grants a base 5% chance to critically hit for 1.4x damage. Critical hit probability is determined by the following function:[1] ${\displaystyle p(CriticalHit\%)=\lfloor 200*(CriticalHit-LevelMod_{Lv,SUB})/LevelMod_{Lv,DIV}+50\rfloor /10}$
Determination	Increases damage and healing dealt. A character's base Determination is equal to ${\displaystyle LevelMod_{Lv, MAIN}}$.
Direct Hit Rate	Increases the chance of landing a direct hit, dealing 1.25x more damage than a normal hit. Direct hit probability is determined by the following function:[1] ${\displaystyle p(DirectHit\%)=\lfloor 550*(DirectHitRate-LevelMod_{Lv,SUB})/LevelMod_{Lv,DIV}\rfloor /10}$ A character's base Direct Hit Rate is equal to ${\displaystyle LevelMod_{Lv, SUB}}$.

Defensive Properties[]

Physical Properties[]

Attribute	Effect
Attack Power	Increases the amount of damage dealt by auto-attacks for all disciplines. Also increases damage and healing dealt by Disciple of War spells, abilities, and weaponskills. Attack Power is equal to Strength or Dexterity depending on discipline.
Skill Speed	Reduces the cast and recast times of weaponskills, including their global cooldown, increases damage dealt by auto-attacks, and increases damage and healing done by Attack Power-based damage/healing over time effects. A character's base Skill Speed is equal to ${\displaystyle LevelMod_{Lv, SUB}}$.

Mental Properties[]

Attribute	Effect
Attack Magic Potency	Increases the amount of damage dealt by Disciple of Magic spells, abilities, and weaponskills. Also increases healing done by Red and Blue Mages. Attack Magic Potency is equal to Intelligence or Mind depending on discipline.
Healing Magic Potency	Increases the amount of healing done by all Disciples of Magic except Red and Blue Mages. Healing Magic Potency is equal to Mind.
Spell Speed	Reduces the cast and recast times of spells, including their global cooldown, and increases damage and healing done by Attack/Healing Magic Potency-based damage/healing over time effects. A character's base Skill Speed is equal to ${\displaystyle LevelMod_{Lv, SUB}}$.

Role Properties[]

Attribute	Effect
Piety	Increases MP regeneration rate. Only functions for healing disciplines. Piety's increase to MP regeneration is determined by the following function:[1] ${\displaystyle \text{Additional MP per tick} = \lfloor 150 * ( Piety - LevelMod_{Lv, MAIN} ) / LevelMod_{Lv, DIV} \rfloor}$ A character's base Piety is equal to ${\displaystyle LevelMod_{Lv, MAIN}}$.
Tenacity	Increases damage and healing done, and reduces damage taken. Only functions for tank disciplines. A character's base Tenacity is equal to ${\displaystyle LevelMod_{Lv, SUB}}$.

Crafting[]

Used in Synthesis for Disciples of the Hand. Replaces Mental Properties.

Gathering[]

Used in Gathering for Disciples of the Land. Replaces Mental Properties.

Weapon properties[]

Attribute	Effect
Physical Damage	Increases damage and healing done by all Attack Power-based actions. Is only visible on Disciple of War weapons.
Magic Damage	Increases damage and healing done by all Attack/Healing Magic Potency-based actions. Is only visible on Disciple of Magic weapons.
Delay	The time between auto-attacks, measured in seconds.
Auto-attack	The average amount of damage auto-attacks deal before modifiers. Calculated as ${\displaystyle Auto\text{-}attack = (Delay/3) * Physical Damage}$

Shield properties[]

The following properties only appear on shields. Characters can only block when equipped with a shield.

Attribute	Effect
Block Strength	Reduces damage received on a successful block. Successful blocks have a base 10% damage reduction before Block Strength is factored in.
Block Rate	Increases chance of successfully blocking. Shield-bearing characters have a base 10% chance to block before Block Rate is factored in. Block probability is determined by the following function:[1] ${\displaystyle p(Block\%)=\lfloor (30*BlockRate)/LevelMod_{Lv,DIV}+10\rfloor }$

Regional Effects[]

The following properties only appear on equipment acquired from Field Operations, and only function within their associated zones and instances. Elemental Bonus only appears on equipment associated with The Forbidden Land, Eureka, while Haste appears on equipment from all current Field Operations zones as of Endwalker.

These properties are region-specific; for example, Haste acquired from Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr equipment is disabled in Eureka content (and vice-versa).

Miscellaneous[]

The following properties are rare and in many cases irrelevant to modern gameplay, but are still present on some equipment or consumables.

Attribute	Effect
EXP Bonus	Increases EXP earned by a percentage. All food buffs grant 3% EXP Bonus.
Increased Spiritbond Gain	Increases the rate at which players Spiritbond with their equipment.

Pets[]

Pet attributes are based on their owner's, with some variation:^[2]

• They do not receive the attribute bonuses from being in a party.
• They do not benefit from their owner's hidden attribute traits.
• Pet action cast and recast times are unaffected by Skill and Spell Speed, though the class/job actions that order them to execute may benefit, such as Egi Assault.
• Their job attribute modifiers are 100 rather than those of their owner's job.
• Arcanist, Summoner, Scholar, and Machinist pets do not have racial modifiers.
• Ninja's Bunshin and Astrologian's Earthly Star receives the same racial modifiers as their owner.
• Dark Knight's Living Shadow has the racial modifiers of a Midlander Hyur regardless of its owner's race.

Damage and healing formulae[]

Functions^[3][]

In order to simplify the damage formulae, several components are broken down into smaller functions:

f(MAIN_DMG)^[3][]

Function changes depending on the user's level and role:

• Level 71+ non-tanks:

${\displaystyle f(MAIN_{DMG})={\frac {\lfloor (Level-70)*4+125\rfloor *(MainAttribute-LevelMod_{Lv,MAIN})/LevelMod_{Lv,MAIN}\rfloor +100}{100}}}$

• Level 51 to 70 non-tanks:

${\displaystyle f(MAIN_{DMG})={\frac {\lfloor (Level-50)*2.5+75\rfloor *(MainAttribute-LevelMod_{Lv,MAIN})/LevelMod_{Lv,MAIN}\rfloor +100}{100}}}$

• Level 1 to 50 non-tanks:

${\displaystyle f(MAIN_{DMG})={\frac {\lfloor 75*(MainAttribute-LevelMod_{Lv,MAIN})/LevelMod_{Lv,MAIN}\rfloor +100}{100}}}$

• Level 80 tanks:

${\displaystyle f(MAIN_{DMG})={\frac {\lfloor 115*(MainAttribute-LevelMod_{Lv,MAIN})/LevelMod_{Lv,MAIN}\rfloor +100}{100}}}$

• Level 80 Summoner pets:

${\displaystyle f(MAIN_{DMG})={\frac {\lfloor 180*(MainAttribute-LevelMod_{Lv,MAIN})/LevelMod_{Lv,MAIN}\rfloor +100}{100}}}$

Where Main Attribute (MAIN) is Strength (STR), Dexterity (DEX), Intelligence (INT), or Mind (MND) depending on the action used. These attributes are equal to the Attack Power or Attack Magic Potency attributes, and determine the effect these attributes have on damage.

f(MAIN_HEAL)^[3][]

Function changes depending on the user's level:

• Level 80:

${\displaystyle f(MAIN_{HEAL})={\frac {\lfloor 100*(MainAttribute-LevelMod_{Lv,MAIN})/304\rfloor +100}{100}}}$

• Level 70:

${\displaystyle f(MAIN_{HEAL})={\frac {\lfloor 100*(MainAttribute-LevelMod_{Lv,MAIN})/264\rfloor +100}{100}}}$

• Level 80 Scholar pets:

${\displaystyle f(MAIN_{HEAL})={\frac {\lfloor 106*(MainAttribute-LevelMod_{Lv,MAIN})/304\rfloor +100}{100}}}$

Where Main Attribute (MAIN) is Strength (STR), Dexterity (DEX), Intelligence (INT), or Mind (MND) depending on the action used. These attributes are equal to the Attack Power, Attack Magic Potency, or Healing Magic Potency attributes, and determine the effect these attributes have on healing.

f(WD)^[3][]

${\displaystyle f(WD) = \frac{\lfloor ( LevelMod_{Lv, MAIN} * JobMod_{Job, Attribute} / 1000 ) + Weapon Damage \rfloor}{100} }$

Where Weapon Damage (WD) is either a weapon's Physical Damage (PD) or Magic Damage (MD) depending on the action used. Determines the effect these attributes have on damage and healing. If the action scales off of Attack Power, Physical Damage is used, if it scales off of Attack or Healing Magic Potency, Magic Damage is used. The attribute called by JobMod is either Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, or Mind, depending on the action.

f(DET)^[3][]

${\displaystyle f(DET)={\frac {\lfloor 130*(Determination-LevelMod_{Lv,MAIN})/LevelMod_{Lv,DIV}+1000\rfloor }{1000}}}$

Determines the effect Determination (DET) has on damage and healing.

f(TNC)^[3][]

${\displaystyle f(TNC) = \begin{cases} \text{If role is tank} & = \frac{\lfloor 100 * ( Tenacity - LevelMod_{Lv, SUB} / * LevelMod_{Lv, DIV} + 1000 \rfloor}{1000} \\ \text{Else} & = 1 \\ \end{cases}}$

Determines the effect Tenacity (TNC) has on damage, healing, and mitigation. Only applicable to tanks.

f(SPD)^[3][]

${\displaystyle f(SPD) = \frac{\lfloor 130 * ( Speed - LevelMod_{Lv, SUB} / * LevelMod_{Lv, DIV} + 1000 \rfloor}{1000} }$

Where Speed (SPD) is either Skill Speed (SKS) or Spell Speed (SPS) depending on the action used. In damage over time calculations, determines the effect these attributes have on damage and healing. If the action scales off of Attack Power, Skill Speed is used, if it scales off of Attack or Healing Magic Potency, Spell Speed is used. When determining cast and recast time, it is instead dependent on the action type: Skill Speed for Weaponskills, and Spell Speed for Spells.

f(CRIT?)^[3][]

${\displaystyle f(CRIT?) = \begin{cases} \text{YES} & = \frac{\lfloor 200 * ( CriticalHit - LevelMod_{Lv, SUB} ) / LevelMod_{Lv, DIV} + 1400 \rfloor}{1000} \\ \text{NO} & = 1 \\ \end{cases}}$

Determines the effect the critical hits (CRIT) and the Critical Hit attribute have on damage.

f(DH?)^[3][]

${\displaystyle f(DH?) = \begin{cases} \text{YES} & = 1.25 \\ \text{NO} & = 1 \\ \end{cases}}$

Determines the effect direct hits (DH) have on damage.

f(DEF)^[3][]

${\displaystyle f(DEF) = \frac{\lfloor 15 * Defense / LevelMod_{Lv, DIV} \rfloor}{100}}$

Where Defense (DEF) can be substituted with Magic Defense (MDEF) depending on the incoming damage type. Determines the effect these attributes have on incoming damage.

f(BLK)^[3][]

${\displaystyle f(BLK) = \frac{\lfloor 15 * Block Strength / LevelMod_{Lv, DIV} \rfloor + 10}{100}}$

Determines the effect Block Strength has on incoming damage. Only applicable on blocked attacks.

${\displaystyle Cast^1 = \lfloor ( 2 - f(SPD) ) * Action Delay \rfloor / 1000 }$
${\displaystyle Cast^2 = \lceil \lfloor Type Y * (100 - Haste) \rfloor * Type Z \rceil}$
${\displaystyle Cast = \lfloor Cast^2 * Cast^1 \rfloor * Astral Umbral III \rfloor / 100}$

Where Action Delay is the base cast or recast time in milliseconds (eg. a 2.5s cast is 2500ms). Astral Umbral III is 0.5 when casting Ice during Astral Fire III, or when casting Fire during Umbral Ice III, or 1 otherwise. Type Y and Z are one of the following values depending on the active effect, or 1 for no effect:

Type Y	Value	Type Z	Value
Ley Lines	0.85	Huton	0.85
Presence of Mind	0.8	Greased Lightning	0.95, 0.9, 0.85
Shifu	0.9, 0.87	Army's Paeon	0.96, 0.92, 0.88, 0.84
Blood Weapon	0.9

PvP[]

PvP content seems to use the same formulae as PvE content, but due to attribute normalization and the removal of critical and direct hits all of the smaller functions can be treated as being equal to 1. This in essence causes the damage and healing done by PvP actions to be equal to their potency before standard randomization and buffs are applied.

Base modifiers[]

The following modifiers are used in determining base HP and attributes, as well as parameters such as MP recovery and block, direct hit, and critical hit probability.

JobMod[]

LevelMod^[6][]
